A Sunday joke

The fact that it's Sunday got me thinking about this joke that makes me laugh and I'm sharing it here in the hope it has the same effect on others. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

 

In a religious school’s cafeteria, there was a pile of apples on the table with a note reading: “Take one only. God is watching.”

At the other end of the table, there was a pile of cookies with a note put there by one of the students: “Take all you want! God is watching the apples!”

The best hugs

 I heard this song today and had to share it here because it's just so sweet. It made me think of how to me, the best hugs are hugs that are like a gift being given and received by two people at the same time. For me, such hugs bring me a sense of safety and warmth that I just want to share so that those feelings can spread farther and possibly help someone to also feel safe, happy, and most of all, at peace. Wherever you are reading this, I hope you give and receive many hugs throughout your life. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

A dog goes to Parliament

 I saw this story the other day about a British politician who works with a guide dog. I liked the story because it shows how awesome dogs can be and also I think it’s awesome that more people with disabilities are getting involved in politics. Anyway, regardless of anything, I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
